Crazyflie Bolt, one of the motor outputs is not working.
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2021 7:04 pm
I just bought a brand new Crazyflie bolt and after flying a new set up for the first time, one of the outputs is not supplying proper signals to the ESC. Specifically the M1 motor outputs from the bolt have no voltage differential between outputs.
The hardware I am using is as follows:
35A 2-5S Brushless ESC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Z ... UTF8&psc=1
A bit of overkill but should still work
4000KV Brushless Motor https://www.getfpv.com/emax-rs1306b-v2- ... or-cw.html
Max current draw at about 15 A
The Matek PDB https://www.amazon.com/FPVDrone-Matek-P ... 8604&psc=1
A 3 cell, 75C Lipo https://www.getfpv.com/tattu-850mah-14- ... P-EALw_wcB
and of course the Crazyflie bolt
At the moment, I am testing the setup using cfclient and everything seems nominal except one of the motors stopped spinning after a single flight. I replaced the ESC and motor to no prevail. Not until taking everything apart and tesing the crazyflie bolt leads with a multimeter did i realize that the crazyflie bolt was not supplying any signal to the motor.
How could this happen? why did the bolt stop working properly? The power to the bolt is being regulated by the 12 volt BEC on the PDB. Given the setup, I don't see how I could have fried the board in any way. Please let me know what may be causing the M1 output to no be supplying proper signal.
